- EJI own a small clothing store and this person called saying he wanted to buy my "product" (he didn't seem to know it was clothing) and take it back to India. Actually, first he asked for several people by name who don't exist, before asking to speak to the owner. He said repeatedly that he's in India, even though this is a US number. He said he would need me to come get him at the airport. You know, because clothing stores do that. It was a pretty long conversation (mostly because he kept having to repeat himself) but I suspect they think I'm a sucker now and will continue to call.

- Wim EppingaA woman called me from this phone number. She said that she worked at Microsoft.
She had received a report from my computer. It was mentioned that my computer would be infected with virus.
The woman offered me that Microsoft would scan my computer on viruses. There was much noise in the phone connection. Her voice was hard to understand. There were many voices in the background to make me believe that she called me from a callcentre . But when I told her I did not believe that she worked for Microsoft, she quickly hung up...
Do not believe such calls !!- Caller: Microsoft (Not !!)

The scam always starts the same way: the phone rings at someone's home, and the caller – usually with an Indian accent – asks for the householder, quoting their name and address before saying "I'm calling for Microsoft. We've had a report from your internet service provider of serious virus problems from your computer."
Dire forecasts are made that if the problem is not solved, the computer will become unusable.
The puzzled owner is then directed to their computer, and asked to open a program called "Windows Event Viewer". Its contents are, to the average user, worrying: they look like a long list of errors, some labelled "critical". "Yes, that's it," says the caller. "Now let me guide you through the steps to fixing it."
The computer owner is directed to a website and told to download a program that hands over remote control of the computer, and the caller "installs" various "fixes" for the problem. And then it's time to pay a fee: £185 for a "subscription" to the "preventative service".
The only catch: there was never anything wrong with the computer, the caller is not working for Microsoft or the internet service provider, and the owner has given a complete stranger access to every piece of data on their machine.Matt, a Londoner who has recently set up his own company, had just arrived home at 7pm when the phone rang and someone with an Indian accent asked for him by name, quoting his address. "It's Windows tech support here," said the caller. "We have reason to believe that there's a problem with your computer. There have been downloads of malware and spyware, and they're slowing down your computer." - George I.| 1 replyThese guys are morons and criminals. No matter how many times you demonstrate to them you aren't falling for their scam they continue to call and to tell me that my computer is filled with viruses. Auto-dialer or not you would imagine they would be taking notes and opt not to call back since every single time that they call I tell them to go to hell and to stop bothering me but the calls continue. Honestly, the guys deserve long, hard jail-time. They're criminals with no moral code.

- annoyedA lady with an indian accent "from Microsoft" just called me at work, told me to look at some error events. She only referred to me by my last name, tried to guide me to a website (which I didn't log on to) called www.malpha-something, I didn't get the rest as I couldn't understand her accent anyways. I hung up on her. She could not hear me, there was a lot of background noise, and she kept telling me to hold. I stayed on for a bit, and got mad that she wasn't hearing me. She kept saying "Right?" and referring to me as "Ma'am". I haven't tried to call the number back, and she didn't call again. I immediately emailed my office manager to install some anti-virus on my computer. She told me that someone is trying to hack me and wants to steal my identity and credit card information. It was just very suspicious although I did get very scared at first.
- Caller: Microsoft
- SueGot a call from this number. Got a similar call yesterday too - different number though. Nobody on other side in both cases. They just hang up. I blocked their numbers on my home phone - hopefully no more nuisance calls from them will get through.
